How to Use

Metal clip or wooden holder: Thread the wick through the centre slot or hole, then lay the clip or bar across the top of the jar. Adjust the wick length so it reaches the base of the jar, secure to the base with a wick sticker, and pour your wax. Remove once the wax has fully set.

Wick stickers: Peel the backing from one side, press firmly to the bottom of the wick sustainer tab, then peel the second backing and press the wick firmly to the centre base of the jar. The adhesive holds the wick in place during pouring.

Pre-waxed wicks: Attach to the base of the jar with a wick sticker, centre with a clip or wooden holder, and pour wax. Trim to 5–7mm before burning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the metal clips reusable?
Yes — the stainless steel clips are fully reusable. Wipe clean with a cloth after each use. They will last indefinitely with normal use.

What diameter jars are the metal clips suitable for?
The clips are 11cm / 4.3 inches long and suit jars with an internal diameter of up to approximately 9cm. They are compatible with most standard candle jars.

Do I need wick stickers if I use a clip or wooden holder?
A wick sticker anchors the base of the wick to the jar floor, stopping it from floating when hot wax is poured. A clip or wooden holder centres the top of the wick. Both together give the most reliable result, especially with deeper jars or when pouring at higher temperatures.

Are the pre-waxed wicks suitable for all wax types?
Yes — the pre-waxed cotton wicks work with soy wax, paraffin, coconut wax, and beeswax blends. For best results, match the wick size to your jar diameter and wax type. These wicks are suited to jar and container candles rather than pillar candles.
